Great news! Marcus [elijah-wood.com] has set up a chatroom for all of us at A+F It's shared with his site, so you'll also get to talk to people from e-w.com. You can also access it through mIRC - Just setup your client to connect to irc.ewfn.org on port 6667 and join channel #lobby.

Here's what Marcus told me about it:

Quote:

IRC offers private chats and multiple channels. A special feautureonly known to IRC is that you can chat in multiple channels at thesame time and switch between two chats instantly with one mouse click.You can also have as many private conversations as you want. To chatto someone in private, just double-click on a nickname at the userliston the right side.

User have the possibility to join as many channels as they want. Theycan even open new channels without any restrictions.

Almost every known client, including the web clients on your chatpage, have a taskbar. It shows the channels you're joined to and allprivate conversations. You can easily switch between channels byclicking on the buttons of this taskbar. If someone writes somethingto you in private, a new button automatically appears at your taskbar.Whenever new text arrives, the button turns red to indicate that thereis a new message waiting.
